Has anyone heard anything about the FOID system being down?

[Helpdesk9]

Trying to send a gun back to the manufacturer for some work but the manufacturer is saying the system has been down for over a week 

[soundguy]

*I was able to verify my FOID/CCL and view my E-Card just now on the Applicant Portal. That part seems to be working...

 

Why would the manufacturer need to access the FOID system?

Is this some new requirement for shipping?

 

All of my experiences with mfg warranty repairs and aftermarket work/modifications/upgrades have been direct with the mfg/gun shop doing the work. I take the properly packaged gun to FedEx and off it goes. The state of Illinois has never been involved. Twice a finished pistol has been left at my front door while I was away.

 

Cheers,

Tim

It was down for a few days the week of Thanksgiving too. Imagine if voting systems were down.

Then it would (d)epend on location.
